Favre denies any wrongdoing. He said he cut some radio ads that ran locally for years. He got paid for this work (for a non-profit) same as for any other endorsement. The state auditor says Favre should have known the payments were illegal.

What a miserable, misleading line of msm bullshit.

They write it to make it appear that Farve took money by being on welfare, rather than being paid for running ads.

The welfare dept goes to Farve to run some ads and pays him for his effort.

Later, some bean counter decides that payment for ads wasn't kosher and demands a refund from Farve.

Famous people are constantly doing ads for some cause, and if they get paid by agreement, that is not their fault.

The real villain is the reporter and the media that distorts the real facts.

If the nonprofit reported his payments as loss or cost of doing business Brett is off the hook.

As long as he took the payments in good faith, I don't see how he is responsible for their officials' error. Gonna have to review the tapes.

Hunter Biden’s PR team is the entire lamestream media. His legal team is the Department of Justice (Just-Us).
